Projects at this Time...

Bloody Roads South

CWB #5. April 1992. Designer: Jim Epperson. $32.00 In final production and artwork. This game will include the Second Edition rules.

Guderian's Blitzkrieg

OCS #1. Origins 1992. Designer: Dean Essig. $39.00 Playtesting continuing. I have records of "historical" positions for the first 10 turns which will be provided to you so you can start the game on any turn from turn I through 10. Six Teaching scenarios have been designed and the game itself will be provided with something more than 6 main scenarios (not counting the historical starts above.) The air units and air system have been thoroughly revised to make the whole thing function more smoothly.

Stalingrad Pocket

SCS#1. June 1992. Designer: Masahiro Yamazaki. $22.00 Ready for art. This game is finished except for its final production. A fun straight forward old-fashioned wargame.

Perryville

CWB#6. Oct 1992. Designer: DavePowell. $22.00 Dave's been done with this one for a while. Now all I have to do is get him to drag out all those variant units he had to trim and get them into the errata countersheet mentioned at left.

Blood of Generals

CWB #7. Oct 1992. Designer: Dean Essig. $22.00 Played through the first hours of the campaign game. The two battles can be played through from one to the otherwith a lot of maneuver and jockeying for position. The Union has to get its trains from the south edge of the first map and then off the north edge of the second to fulfill its victory conditions-and its a lot harder than it sounds. This game is turning out to be a great deal of fun.

Thunder at the Crossroads

CWB #2. April 1993. Designer: Dave Powell. $32.00 A number of you have asked why we aren't putting out an update kit on this one. The problem is that there is nothing that can be saved from the original game and used directly in the 2nd Edition- there are new maps, counters, game rules, series rules, loss charts and the box. All that's left is the dice!

Austerlitz

NBS #1. Origins 1993. Designer: Dave Powell. $32.00 Dave is working on the NBS system right now. He has the playtest maps for this game drawn and an Order of Battle, but his work is concentrating on the actual NBS series rules.

Notes regarding the next year or so...

I will be having my left hand reconstructed in the fall of 1992. Potentially, this might mean a slowing of production while I recover. A final decision can't be made until after that surgery--when I can see what kind of condition I'll be in.

As we learn more about our limited production capabilities (staff of one), I am more convinced than ever that 3 new games per year is the safe limit for production. Quality before numbers.

The Back Burner... (None have a date yet)

The games below are "in the works" any of them may be potential releases in the next few years. It is only provided as information for your use. As these games are finished, they will be assigned publication dates in the year after acceptance-if a date is available. Given our 3 per year schedule, it may be a while before any particular one of these see's the light of day.

Matinikau

TCS. Designer: Sam Simons. Attacks of the Marines in November 1942 around the Matinikau River, Guadalcanal. Bingo! Sam sent me the counter roster so desperately needed (see last time) and the game can enter the loop. Not sure when, though.

A Frozen Hell

TCS. Designer: AlWambold. A battle in the Russo-Finnish War, 1940. Specifically, the Battle of Tolvajarvi, December, 1940. Al updated me on this one just yesterday--he got some much needed info from the Finnish Government. It won't be long before he's playing this one.

The Seven Days

CWB. Designer: Dave Powell. Nothing new to report.

Yom Kippur

SCS. Designer: Al Sandrik. Nothingnew to report.

April's Harvest

CWB. Designer: Al Wambold. Shiloh. Nothing new to report.

The Campaign in Sicily

KG Hecker

TCS. Designer: Dean Essig. This game covers the almost unknown plan to cut off Tobruk from Egypt during the Gazalla Battles.

Bakka Valley

TCS: Modern Expansion. Designer: Al Sandrik. Syrians vs. Israelis, 1982.

Arracourt

TCS. Designer: James Meldrum. Nothing new to report.

Atlanta

CWB. Designer: John Gilmer, Jr.. John's been working on this set of games (two games, four maps total) for a long time. Dave Powell has the submission and will be working with John at cutting out excesses and polishing it.

OstFront

TCS. Designer: Dean Essig. As proposed and modified. This will be a set of three games (when finished) coveting the war in the East with representative actions. No telling when it might be ready for production.

Crete TCS. Designer: Wig Graves. Wig took over this one from me. He has located the needed OB and map data. I'm looking forward to seeing this one.
